Ammon News - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday he has agreed ​to suspend the bombing of Iran for two weeks while accepting a ‌14-day truce proposal from mediators in the Iran war.

Trump said he spoke to leaders in Pakistan, which has been a mediator between Washington and Tehran and which had sought ​a two-week ceasefire, according to Reuters.

"Based on conversations with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and ​Field Marshal Asim Munir, of Pakistan, and wherein they requested ⁠that I hold off the destructive force being sent tonight to ​Iran, and subject to the Islamic Republic of Iran agreeing to the COMPLETE, ​IMMEDIATE, and SAFE OPENING of the Strait of Hormuz, I agree to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks," Trump wrote on social ​media.

"This will be a double sided CEASEFIRE," Trump said.

Trump said ​the U.S. has received a 10-point proposal from Iran, which he called a "workable basis ‌on ⁠which to negotiate."
Trump said in his post that nearly all of the various points of past contention have been agreed to between the U.S. and Iran and the two-week period will allow a deal to be ​finalized.

Trump, who ​has offered shifting goals ⁠and timelines for the war, reiterated that he felt Washington's objectives had been achieved.
The Iran war began when ​the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran on February 28. Tehran ​responded ⁠with its own strikes on Israel and Gulf states with U.S. bases. The war has shaken global markets and raised oil prices.


U.S.-Israeli strikes in Iran and ⁠Israeli ​attacks in Lebanon have killed thousands and displaced millions. ​Trump warned earlier on Tuesday that "a whole civilization will die tonight" if Iran did not ​make a deal.
